Dow reviews

Corporate restructuring occurs every 18 months which realigns everyone's goal. Within Manufacturing and Engineering, there are functional silos (Operations, Maintenance, Logistics, Engineering, Technology Center) and each function has their own goals which can often be in contrast.

Many of the operators are required to work 40+% overtime. Employees don't stay because of the flawed "internship" program. Dow has removed many of the perks and benefits that used to make it the place to work. Dow doesn't try to compete with many of the chemical plants in southern Louisiana and this causes massive turnover at the process technician level. If you get placed in a unit with extreme workloads you are stuck there unless you leave Dow.
